Deeper Roots Encouragement For Homeschool Moms~TOS Crew Review

Friday, September 16th, 2011

I received a free copy of Encouragement for Homeschool Moms in exchange for a review. Let me tell you I NEEDED this devotional. Last year was rough for us–really rough! My sweet little boy is a go getter and what they called “strong willed”. Then on top of it Dad came home–after a 6 year [...]

Pig Pile R&R Games~TOS Crew Review

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

Pig Pile is a fun game from R&R Games for 3-6 players ages 7 and up. It’s a fast paced family game where players compete to corral the most pigs. I love the bright colored cards and the pigs are definitely cute. This game is well made and colorful. The game includes *80 cards *40 [...]

Mugabe and the White African~Book Review

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011

I received a free copy of this book from LitFuse Publicity to review on my blog. It’s not the typical type of book I pick up, but I’m finding it interesting. I don’t know much about the conflict in Zimbabwe but I’m finding this book draws me in. It’s well written and I find myself [...]

Too Blessed To Be Stressed~ Book Review

Friday, August 19th, 2011

I received a free copy of this book from LitFuse Publicity to review. It’s a lighthearted easy devotional read. Perfect for a little uplift or encouragement. I wouldn’t use this as my Bible study–it’s not really my type for study. But I do think it’s a good fit for days you just need a pick [...]

George Washington Carver~Book Sneeze Review

Friday, August 5th, 2011

  I received a free copy of this book from BookSneeze (free books for bloggers). James and I studied the Civil War all year last year and we briefly mentioned George Washington Carver. He’s not really part of the Civil War story, but he was born a slave and became a great man so he [...]

A Few More Reviews….

Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

You will be seeing a few more reviews around here. I’m still reviewing some books with Litfuse Publicity and I was accepted as one of The Old Schoolhouse Review Crew members. I also was accepted as a blogger to a Woman of Faith conference this fall. So, just a heads up. I’ll still be regular [...]

One family’s stand for Justice – catch the story on PBS 7/26! I’ll be blogging about the book Mugabe and the White African later this month, but I wanted to let you know that Point of View will air the documentary Mugabe and the White African on Tuesday, July 26th. The film tells the story of Mike Campbell [...]

Boomtown Chang’s Fireworks Factory by Nowen N Particular

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

  I am woefully behind in submitting this review! I don’t even know what happened. To be super honest with you, I’m only getting it in because if I don’t I can’t have another book from BookSneeze and I see one that looks good! (Is that really bad?!) From Book Sneeze: Imagine a place where [...]

Spring For Susannah~Book Review

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

I received a free copy of this book for my review from LitFuse Publicity. I had another book to review too so it did sit on my shelf for a little while. As soon as I started reading it, I was hooked. I always enjoy finding a new author and this book was a good [...]

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

I found Susan May Warren by doing a book review and I’ve enjoyed all her books so far. (Haven’t read them all~) This book will be a great summer read for you. Perfect for lounging in a chair in your back yard and drinking some tea! This story is set in Deep Haven, Minnesota which [...]
